Ford needs to bring back the Excursion and build it on the F350 chassis with the headlights from the 2018 Super duty since the 2020 headlight are weird
What people also missed when the Ex came out was that it was a 3/4 ton Superduty underneath and could travel the backcountry as well as the pickups. And it has the security of an SUV for your gear in a dust proof place.
We bought our 7.3 2001 excursion from a friend in 2004. It's now 2021 we basically raised our four kids in it it's at 298,000 mi. Just recently finally put new glow plugs in it for the first time. Rebuilt the transmission at around 235,000 miles. It still runs like a clock. Plan on getting a new paint job on it, bought a new grill and new headlamps. I cannot wait. They will never make big old tanks like this again so I will keep it in the family until it dies. But I really don't think it will.
Bought mine new in 2002 7.3L diesel. Runs great and still in mint condition. It’s a TRUCK and we have had several other second cars that just did not compare. Just the Excursion now it’s in the climate controlled garage right now. We have made several BANKS POWER upgrades for better performance fuel mileage and longevity. We sure have enjoyed our Excursion. 👍👍👍
When you're going to review a vehicle you should familiarize yourself with it first. Access to the third row is super easy if you just do it right, you did the fold down operation which is for extending the cargo space. For the third row access you push the upper lever rearward, the backrest tilts forward and the whole seat slides forward giving good access in one motion. As for the ride quality, the 2WD version rides much nicer.
Sammy Duran well not exactly, they got out of the market because they got wind of the gas price increase, I mean look what it did to Hummer who stayed along for the ride. Definitely should bring it back tho
Great video, thanks for review. Ford Excursion is the best full-size SUV ever made. It has the roomiest interior, the largest cargo space, the best towing capability. Excursion is very reliable and the most durable, longest-lasting SUV. It is so strong, safe and greatest looking vehicle. Why Ford stopped production of this great SUV? By the way, there are several reasons, but these reasons are not right and I will explain why. Reason N1 - Too big size. That is not true, because Excursion is only 2 inches longer, than new Suburban. So they have practically same size, Excursion is little bit larger, like it should be. By the way, every next year big SUVs becoming more and more popular and every next generation of full-size SUVs have larger size. For example, new Suburban is larger, than previous. Reason N2 - Too heavy weight. First of all, it’s not too heavy (it is very comfortable, easy to manage, great to drive and fast enough) and secondly, heavy-duty largest SUV should be more heavy, than ordinary full-size SUV. Reason N3 - Very bad fuel economy. What do you expect from heavy-duty biggest SUV? 20 mpg in city? So go and buy hybrid Explorer. If you need really strong and large SUV with the best towing capability, you should not care too much for fuel economy. Worth noting, that diesel Excursion has same or even better mpg, than most of new big gasoline SUVs have. By the way, if you put in Excursion all new 7.3-liter gasoline engine, with 10-speed transmission, mpg will be way better, than V10 6.8 engine has with only 4-speed gearbox. Even with this old V10 engine, fuel economy of Excursion is not so bad. This can’t stop you, if you really need largest and such a strong SUV. Ford must start production - New Excursion - with: new V8 engines (7.3-liter gasoline, 6.7-liter diesel), new 10-speed automatic transmission and new strong-solid looking design. New Expedition MAX and Suburban are good, but new Excursion will be much strong, way durable and more capable SUV. Price should not be very high and sales will be pretty good. Ford Motor Company anyway should continue production of the biggest SUV. Now the largest SUVs are Suburban, Yukon XL and Escalade ESV. Ford should show everyone who is the King in big SUVs category, with new Excursion - the King of full-size SUVs. Anyway, this old Excursion is still more durable and stronger, than any new full-size SUV.
I know this is an old thread, but I'd like to add to your post. The 'burbans, while fairly long, have also been shortened height wise and width. Drove one recently, and while it was a nice suv, I'll take my BIG E any day. I remember when they first came out...saw a new Exc next to a new 'burban side by side at a red light...and the Exc. completely dwarfed the 'burban (both factory height). Had a 78 Bronco at the time with a mild lift...1 1/2" with 31" tires, and the Exc. dwarfed that too. Finally bought one a year ago. Love it. The V10 gets 14-15mpg hwy, better than my old Bronco with the 351. It would great if they brought it back, but my fear is they'll do the same thing with it as they did with the Explorer, then later the Expedition...make it look wimpy, crossover style, instead of the old truck style that made them desirable to have.

The 7.3 diesel is legendary for long service life. It was originally designed for urban-duty Class 5 trucks and school buses - both very demanding duty cycles. It doesn't take much effort to find a F250/350 with 750,000 miles on it and there a number of million-mile specimens. Unless your are hauling crews around in the oil fields, the SUV will rust out around a perfectly good engine. Many of these are still in service after twenty years.
@John Sabp OK. But in 2000 "Limited" was top of the line. I know, I ordered a new 2000 Excursion 7.3 4X4 with every option, and it was the top offering that model year.
@John Sabp From what I could find. one HD was made. I do not recall Ford ever offering a HD edition Excursion and I have been a fan of them since the beginning. I have Excursion brocures for most, if not all years.
Mark Cunningham To be honest I have no idea, there are a lot of collectors looking for diesels and my dads was in pretty good condition, other than the paint.
imported one from the us to Austria bc they are like 40k here but it was the best decision ive ever made mine is a limited 7.3 with 300k miles and everything works great payed with import and everything about 15k
Debating between the V10 and 7.3 Diesel models. I have never had a diesel vehicle. But considering how much praise the 7.3 gets. It sounds like a great SUV.
Depends on how you're going to use it. If you are going to be doing mostly heavy hauling or heavy trailer pulling, go with the 7.3. If your driving doesn't include much of either, go with the V10. Diesels are meant to be worked, not babied, otherwise you will have way more maintenance issues.
@@JimTom. i was always a ford guy until they stopped selling the crown vic so then i became a toyota guy. If they start selling the excursion again i'll easily become a ford guy again.
1 major cool thing about this house on wheels is it can be optioned with a v10 - a truck suv with a beefy v10. It just doesn't make big displacement v10 numbers tho
This looks like my physical education coach at little ike she use to have a 2000 Ford excursion limited 4x2 exterior color true blue metallic with tan paint scheme these are great sport utility vehicles
Longer, taller and heavier than an H1. Of course not as wide but occasionally you want to keep your wheels on your own side of the road...right? I put a 2" lift on mine to help clear cross ditches on decommissioned backroads in British Columbia. The running boards also hang too low and were destroyed early in it's life along with the low hanging steering dampener. Expect to change all the door lock actuators once or twice sometime in it's life. Third seat is a cheap joke for what was a premium truck. Seems to be a reupholstered afterthought from the 1980's Aerostar plant. Very comfortable logging road and off pavement runner and big enough to sleep in.. Just don't get it stuck if you don't have a winch. I love this truck after 20 years owning it from new. I still put it on the road every now and then when Canadian gas prices dip. The last time was to pull a stump out of my neighbours yard.
You've mentioned that GMC Yukons / Chevy Suburbans have "more refined interiors" however, what you've forgotten to mention is that both of these offerings have drum brakes in the rear and are highly inadequate even in the 2500 & 3500 configurations: ask anyone that's tried to tow anything with them, especially going down hill. The Excursion on the other hand is a tow-monster and has large disc brakes all around. Also most of the "features" you mentioned exclusive to the Limited Trim is actually available standard in the XLT; basically the Limited just adds the dvd players and other media gizmos, which I personally don't care for anyway. Overall, a decent review.
Idk what you are talking about for one you can't compare an ex to a standard Yukon or sub but if you compare it to the same years of yukon or sub 2500hds then the gm vehicles have the edge on tech and interior quality as well as being towing beasts with the 6.0 or 8.1 gas v8s no diesel offered sadly but they did have 4 corner disk brakes so in comparison the Ford doesn't have much of an edge capability wise it's all personal preference want to tow heavy you go either diesel on the ex or 8.1 on the GMs
@@cameron6049 for my purposes, extra storage capacity is key in the Ex, as well as the fact that the 3rd row in the EX lays down, stand up behind the 2nd row or be removed entirely. The Yukon and Tahoe do not have the option - they have to be removed; they are also high theft items.
With a 7.3 diesel maybe- gas I would not touch one. To me the 5.4 engine simple had too many problems- first the spark plug blowing out and then the cam phasers.
True, but only the later 3 valve models suffered from that and other issues, if you have to get a gasser, look for the earlier 2 valve models for reliability and hassle free experience
@@TrealTalk187 I may stand corrected but my understanding is that the engine problems mentioned with the 5.4's extended across all versions. Plus sadly my confidence is shaken in FORD producing an engine for so long with say a fundamental flaw of say the spark plug blowing out. Over my life I have been a FORD guy but in my last used vehicle purchase with only so much to spend, I went with a 2001 YUKON with a 5.3. Expedition IMO is a far nicer vehicle- but it has that 5.4. Who they hell wants to be out on the highway middle of no where and have a spark plug blow out.
I would recommend the 7.3 turbo diesel. I'm sure the other ones are fine too but obviously these go on forever. The 6.0 diesels I know they had a lot more problems with so I would be careful with those.
John Sabp it dont. 250 front is coils. Excursion has 2 leafs. Identical to the 250 but they made the excursion with a more forgiving suspension (front springs) for families and road trips.
Terrbile flr the environment? Its literally an f25p with a top. Pretty much a 4 door bronco. Saying its bad for the environment would pretty much be saying the f150, 250 and 350 were in the same boat. I mean they all pretty much had the same motors. So miles per gallon really weren't any different between models. It was just so dumb back then that people associated "BIG" with "it must be bad". The hummer H2 suffered the same fate
Yeah, nothing in SUV market today "meets or exceeds" the Ex. Ex is rated to 11,000 lbs with diesel of 4.30 V10 gas. Closest to that is 2020 Expedition with 9,300 lbs. That's a lot less and it's 20 years of development. There is no replacement for HD frame, big engine and weight.
Absolutely none of my business , but let’s hope we’re all maximizing the seating capacity and 20 miles to the gallon ? We need to jump from carbon emitting behemoths to hydrogen powered vehicles just as soon as possible
Weirdo Willa 102 these vehicles are a drop in the bucket. Whatever China and India are doing matters far more, focus on that if you have delusions of saving the World.
Maybe it is is important to not care about world opinion when it comes to America, maybe the American exceptualism (spelling) is actually something but..... if we suddenly jumped from fossil fuels to hydrogen skipping the the farce that is/ are electric vehicles ( the car manufacturers would miss out on another 200 billion in sales on this segment). It would reduce about a sixth of the transportation related carbon emissions and America would re-emerge or further confirm that we are the technological leaders of the world. We would on one fell- swoop have done more for the environment than any nation in the world. It should be said that I personally am on the fence about wether that would slow down climate change

The extended Expedition is almost as large as the Excursion was.
Why do so many people complain about the 2020 headlights? Is it the fact that it's no longer perfectly symmetrical "C" design?
They need to major the Excursion with dual wheels and an extended cargo area in the back
Heard they claimed the name again this year so Maybe in the works

It´s my favorite SUV since I was a kid, just like some of the coments here I really want to Ford bring it back.
Really seems odd that they don't. Wouldn't take much from a manufacturing standpoint to keep it going since its not all that different from the F250.
Sadly they stopped selling them because people stopped buying them. Personally I think they're pretty cool as well.
Sammy Duran Well SUVs have been rising in popularity so they might as well bring it back.

Top trim is Eddie Bauer.................
Mileage?
Yeah, nothing in SUV market today "meets or exceeds" the Ex.
Ex is rated to 11,000 lbs with diesel of 4.30 V10 gas.
Closest to that is 2020 Expedition with 9,300 lbs. That's a lot less and it's 20 years of development. There is no replacement for HD frame, big engine and weight.
1:40 literally straight from Wikipedia though.

Just by watching this video my car will probably get worse gas mileage
Hmm nice suv that gets 2 gallons to the mile. Sweet
I get 20 mpg, 2003 6.0 diesel 4x4
Absolutely none of my business , but let’s hope we’re all maximizing the seating capacity and 20 miles to the gallon ? We need to jump from carbon emitting behemoths to hydrogen powered vehicles just as soon as possible
Weirdo Willa 102 these vehicles are a drop in the bucket. Whatever China and India are doing matters far more, focus on that if you have delusions of saving the World.
Maybe it is is important to not care about world opinion when it comes to America, maybe the American exceptualism (spelling) is actually something but..... if we suddenly jumped from fossil fuels to hydrogen skipping the the farce that is/ are electric vehicles ( the car manufacturers would miss out on another 200 billion in sales on this segment). It would reduce about a sixth of the transportation related carbon emissions and America would re-emerge or further confirm that we are the technological leaders of the world. We would on one fell- swoop have done more for the environment than any nation in the world. It should be said that I personally am on the fence about wether that would slow down climate change
Avery Allen yeah the combustion engine will become a hobby you don’t have to inform me I’m addicted to sport bikes I know hydrogen won’t be fun
Frame is not a F250
